A German postal worker claims to have visited more than 560 Hooters restaurants worldwide since 1998. So far this year, Harry Susemihl’s obsession has taken him to Brazil, Colombia, Cyprus, the U.S., and Thailand. Next, he’s planning Hooters pilgrimages to Japan and the Philippines. Susemihl owns 71 Hooters polo shirts. What’s his motivation? He says he just enjoys chatting with the beautiful, friendly waitresses. (Stop tittering.)

Seriously, a stun cane?

Sometimes, you have to wonder why people pack things that the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will definitely confiscate at the airport. Recently, the TSA discovered a whopping 80 pounds of marijuana in a checked bag at McLellan-Palomar Airport near Carlsbad, Calif. In Tampa Bay, Fla., they found a stun cane — a walking stick that can also be used as a stun gun. In Salt Lake City, Utah, they took away a vaping device (for use with e-cigarettes) that looked like a hand grenade. These people should just have to walk.

Brits not dressy on holiday

According to a new survey by momondo.co.uk, an online travel retailer, the British aren’t perceived as fashionably dressed travellers — by anyone. Only 14 per cent of the British believe their compatriots dress stylishly on vacation. In contrast, 39 per cent of U.K. respondents see Italian tourists as well-dressed, and 23 per cent of the British gave a thumbs-up to French tourists. Other nations had their say too, and the knives really came out between Britain and Finland. Only four per cent of Finns admire the wardrobe of U.K. travellers, and just one per cent of the British see Finnish tourists as snazzy. Maybe this is why Finns take off all their clothes in the sauna.
